When did you first start using Linux and why?

First started using Linux because, quite some time ago now, I was an Amiga guy. Hated i386 boxes and the Windows crap everyone was starting to run on them. Clunky, buggy, wimpy. The time came when my Amiga bit the dust and there was no company around to service it… at least not at PC prices. So, vowing not to 'do' the Windows thing, I bought a pentium box and put FreeBSD on it. After running that for awhile and not being too happy with it, someone (thankfully) introduced me to Slackware. After that, and a few distributions later, we arrived at SMGL.
